How old do you have to be to rent a car in Brighton?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Brighton. Take note that home providers will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved.

What do you need to rent a car in Brighton?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between home companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Brighton?
In Brighton, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. For a safe journey, take things slower and allow yourself extra time to get to your next stop.
What is the cheapest car rental in Brighton?
AU$56 and AU$62 were the two lowest daily rates picked up by holiday home car customers in Brighton within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Brighton?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a holiday home car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and secure a set of wheels that’s all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Brighton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Brighton providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
